I’d rather flank him with some guys that can skate and get in on the forecheck. Dickinson needs to be our 3C. He’s a waste on the 4th line. Brown might not be fast but he’s a big body and you can throw smaller wingers in to play with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I hope Bailey makes the cut. Losing Gadjovich made us a much smaller team. We could trade Rathbone to Boston...not an ideal place to send him but it would be doing him and his family a solid by allowing him to play super close to him be it NHL or AHL. Boston has some depth C's with some size like Trent Frederic, Jack Studnicka is not as big but he is a right shot C. Both were much higher picks so Boston might not want to do a simple 1 for 1 deal though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Brown is someone I've always been keen on. he's always had potential but just hasn't been able to put it all together yet. if Benning picks him up, I'd be ecstatic and maybe he finds his game here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also Jeff Brown's kid too no?? Worth a flyer on Vs. trading a pick or asset to acquire one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studnicka isn't a 4th liner going forward. Unless Rathbone's defense improves dramatically, he's far more valuable in a trade. We already have Hughes and there is zero room on an actual NHL blueline for a defensive liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about Brown, Benning wants speed As for how the centres fall, it depends on whether Green decides to play Miller in the middle while Sutter is out. The question then is how he wants the wings to look; whether Boeser plays or not..... If Boeser is in, they can have a lot better balance, if not, the 4th line probably doesn't play much. Hoglander Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Garland DiGiuseppe Miller Petan Lockwood Dickinson Podkolzin Miller Pettersson Hoglander Pearson Horvat Garland DiGiuseppe Dickinson Petan Lockwood Dowling Podkolzin The team is much better with Sutter in the line up. I stand to be corrected on some of the bottom 6 pieces Edited October 9, 2021 by Crabcakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conscience Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I'll take Gambrell, who knows how many games Sutter will end up playing. Good to have the center depth if we ever want to put miller back to wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought some of these guys were pretty decent. Kempny is quite a good player, when healthy. But has had a rough time with injuries the last while. Basically missed all of last season. I think his Achilles? I’ll have to check. Also, he carries a $2.5M cap hit, which is probably the main reason he’s getting waived. Caps want to bury some salary. But the guy can absolutely play, when healthy. His performances have always exceeded the values on his deals, right up until last season, which was lost to injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to see him in the lineup opening night. Our club has a vast deficit on the defensive side of the game...losing a defensive oriented guy would be insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canuck #12 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 The only possible reason to be interested in Brown is that he's 6'6". But if he doesn't kill penalties and/or can't skate very well, there's absolutely no chance Green would be interested. A few posters have mentioned Gambrell. Does he kill penalties and skate well?

The road has been rough for Bailey but I have always been rooting for him when he plays. Has some great attributes. He wasn't at camp due to covid? Border? Shame he couldn't show.
